In non-cardiac surgery patients, initial efficacy studies suggested that BIS-monitoring may decrease time to extubation [ 9, 10].
For example, habituation or sensitisation to monitoring per se may decrease or increase reporting of anxiety compared to groups that do not monitor [ 23].
This is of particular importance because initial good responses to NIV may decrease attention and monitoring by clinicians in the following hours [ 2, 64].
Early detection of disease, and improved monitoring, care and treatment in general practice may decrease or increase the patient need for outpatient clinic (OPC) or private specialist appointments.
Since respiratory failure is the major reason for mortality, careful monitoring, appropriate management and early recognition of this complication may decrease the mortality rate among these patients.
Mechanical ventilation (MV) settings like tidal volume (VT), PEEP, driving pressure and respiratory rate (RR) as well as lung compliance are potential factors that may decrease the ability of functional hemodynamic monitoring parameters to predict fluid responsiveness [ 4– 6].
A less invasive and easy to install method without the need for calibration could be advantageous in daily clinical practice, since it may decrease the reluctance of physicians to use advanced haemodynamic monitoring [ 12].
The fetal heart rate may decrease during CPB; therefore, uterine tone and fetal heart rate should be closely monitored, especially if the fetus is viable.
In contrast, an organized screening program permits recruitment of women in target groups that are difficult to reach, promotes increased return attendance, may decrease health care system costs, and includes routine ongoing quality assurance, evaluation, and overall program monitoring [ 10].
For some workers, hours may decrease.
